Getting started for the committee

Set up the building, send the first bills and keep the accounts.

1. Set up (about 15 minutes)

  1. Sign up with your mobile number and name the society. You get 30 days of everything free.
  2. Add the building: name, address, monthly service charge and garbage bill.
  3. Add the flats: generate them by floor (1A, 1B …) or upload the Excel sheet you already keep (Flats → Import). Owners' names and mobile numbers can be in the same sheet.
  4. Invite owners: each gets an SMS with a link to sign in. Tenants are added from the flat page.

2. Every month

  1. Collections → New month creates the bills; check them, then Issue. Owners get an SMS and an app notification.
  2. Cash or bank: open the month, find the flat, Record payment. A receipt with a QR code is made automatically.
  3. bKash / card: residents pay themselves; the payment and receipt appear on their own.
  4. Payment slips: when someone pays to the society's bank or bKash and sends a slip, approve or reject it under Payment slips.
  5. Who owes: Reports → Outstanding, or in the app Manage → Who owes to call or SMS.

3. Spending and accounts

  • Expenses → Add: amount, what for, a photo of the memo. Large amounts wait for a second committee member to approve.
  • Funds: move money to and from the reserve fund (needs a second approval).
  • Monthly statements: preview and publish the month's income and spending for all members; it can publish itself on the 5th of each month.

4. Good habits

  • Turn on two-factor sign-in (Profile → Security): you handle the society's money.
  • Give each person the smallest role they need (guard, manager, committee).
  • Download the year's reports (PDF/Excel) after the AGM.
